      Who gets Windows 10 for free is mainly based on what the operating system you’re currently running. More recent versions of Windows can be upgraded, but the people using older versions have to pay to upgrade.
      when you upgrade windows 7 to Windows 10 within the first year , It is free to upgrade. You’ll also get free support for 10 years.
      It’s the same for Windows 8 users , Windows 10 is totally free if you upgrade in the first year.
      Windows 10 isn’t free for anyone currently running Windows XP or Windows Vista –, you’ll have to pay £99 up front, though all future updates will be free of charge.
